Nickel Plate 763 was built by Lima in 1944, and was operated across Ohio in fast freight service. When NKP dieselized its road power in 1958 the 763 was stored in the yard at Bellevue for future donation to that town. However, after the 1964 merger of NKP into Norfolk & Western, N&W took the steamer to its headquarters city of Roanoke where 763 had been displayed. It has now been bought by the Ohio Central Railway Systems for $125,000
Looks like an abandoned train out in the old west. This Nickel Plate is the recent acquisition of the Ohio Central located in Coshocton, waiting to be restored. It should take close to 3 years for the complete restoration.
